The 2025 season has not been going well for Justin Jefferson.

Last week, he had one of his worst statistical outings, recording just two catches for four yards […]

The Minnesota Vikings delivered a beatdown in Week 14. Minnesota shut out Washington 31-0 on Sunday in one of the most one-sided games of the season.

thyOne impressive game does not a career make.

McCarthy. Prior to facing the Washington Commanders at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week […]

The Chiefs are in danger of missing the playoffs for the first time in Patrick Mahomes’ career. What does The Athletic’s playoff predictor […]

Sunday night against the Texans was the kind of game that pours gasoline on every “Travis Kelce is washed” takeout there. For the first time in his Hall of Fame career, Kelce finished a game with more drops than catches, putting two crucial balls on the turf and hauling in just one pass for eight […]

The star pass rusher finished with just one tackle, two quarterback hits, and no sacks, yet he said afterward that Chicago’s linemen were hanging onto him […]

The Houston Texans continue to stack wins and confidence simultaneously. Their 20-10 road victory over the Kansas City Chiefs featured another reminder of how dangerous this offense can be when C.J.

Some losses linger longer than others. For the Chicago Bears, Sunday’s 28–21 defeat at the hands of the Green Bay Packers will sit heavy for a long time.

The Atlanta Falcons melted down during an embarrassing loss on Sunday. Atlanta got blown out 37-9 by Seattle in a game where the Falcons self destructed in multiple phases of the game. Now the job security of Falcons head coach Raheem Morris is in question after the team was eliminated from playoff contention. Morris did […]

As their season likely comes to an end, some Kansas City Chiefs fans want Andy Reid “fired,” and one of his former offensive linemen, Geoff Schwartz, is coming to the legendary coach’s defense.

The Arizona Cardinals have endured plenty of low points this season, but Sunday’s 45-17 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams (10-3) may have been the most jarring.

The Chicago Bears entered Week 14 riding a wave of momentum, but their surge hit a wall at Lambeau Field.

The Miami Dolphins continued their late-season surge with a dominant 34-10 win over the New York Jets, improving to 6-7 and extending their winning streak to four games.

It all happened late in the second quarter with the game […]

Micah Parsons didn’t light up the stat sheet in the Green Bay Packers’ 28-21 win over the Chicago Bears, but his impact and his frustration were impossible to miss. The four-time Pro Bowler finished with just one total tackle, two quarterback hits, and no sacks. These are numbers rather foreign for a player of Parsons’s caliber. […]

The Seattle Seahawks have transformed their defense into one of the league’s most punishing units over the past two weeks, surrendering just nine total points across eight quarters. Every level of the defense has contributed, but the secondary, led by surging rookie Nick Emmanwori, delivered the biggest statement in Sunday’s 37-9 dismantling of the Atlanta […]

The Las Vegas Raiders’ season reached another low point on Sunday as they fell 24-17 to the Denver Broncos, marking their seventh straight loss and their 11th defeat in 12 games.
